We are proud to announce that the Graham Foundation supports the Popular School of Urbanism.
Founded in 1956, the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts makes project-based grants to individuals and organizations and produces public programs to foster the development and exchange of diverse and challenging ideas about architecture and its role in the arts, culture, and society.
In its first major grant announcement of 2015, the Graham Foundation will award over U$490,000 to support 63 outstanding projects by individuals that engage original ideas in architecture and urbanism. Among the funded projects are exhibitions, publications, multimedia archives, documentary films, podcasts, symposia, participatory workshops, and live performances.
Exemplifying the diversity of projects, this years’ supported projects also include an exhaustive photographic survey of modernist architect Le Corbusier’s completed architectural works and a multimedia, online oral history chronicling the efforts to build housing for homeless individuals living with HIV and AIDS in New York City.
All projects were announced last night at the historic Madlener House in Chicago; a full list of the newly named grant recipients can be found here.
